Our services and expertise

We are responsible for the first and most critical stages of the lifecycle of renewable energy and related infrastructure, from preliminary studies to building permits.

Land survey and analysis: We find and evaluate the best and most efficient locations for energy production and electricity grid connections.

Wind, solar and hybrid projects: Suunnittelemme erillisiä puistoja sekä moderneja hybridiratkaisuja, joissa tuuli- ja aurinkovoima täydentävät toisiaan tasapainottaen energiantuotantoa ympäri vuoden.

BESS (Battery Energy Storage Systems) (Battery Energy Storage Systems): Kehitämme teollisen mittakaavan akkuvarastoratkaisuja. Sähkövarastot ovat välttämättömiä sähköverkon vakaudelle, sillä ne mahdollistavat energian varastoimisen tuotantohuippujen aikana ja sen vapauttamisen kulutushuippuihin.

Data Center Projects (Data Center): Toimimme solmukohdana uuden energian tuotannon ja vihreän kulutuksen välillä. Suunnittelemme ja luvitamme datakeskuksille soveltuvia alueita, joissa yhdistyvät massiivinen sähkönsiirtokapasiteetti, tonttitarjonta sekä suora yhteys tuottamaamme uusiutuvaan energiaan.

Our values ​​as the basis for our actions

MaanomistajalähtöisyysSuccessful project development is always based on open dialogue and close cooperation with local landowners and residents. We bring new additional income opportunities, for example in the form of land lease agreements.

Responsibility and domesticity: Toimimme Suomen Tuulivoimayhdistyksen jäsenenä ja teemme yhteistyötä luotettavien kotimaisten kumppaneiden kanssa. Kaikki hankkeemme suunnitellaan luontoa ja paikallisia säädöksiä kunnioittaen.
Professionalism and permitting: We finance and carry out complex planning, environmental impact assessment (EIA) and permitting processes with solid expertise.

Together we build and balance a cleaner tomorrow.
